Crew Transport

Volvo Penta IPS powers a number of service vessels used on offshore wind farms. In addition to providing exceptional operating range and drastically reducing fuel costs, benefits include:

High Operating speed

No time to lose – that’s often the difference between success and failure for police and coast guards, marine ambulances and service vessels on emergency assignments. The Volvo Penta IPS delivers up to 20% higher top speed than a traditional drive system.

Massive bollard pull

Safe loading and unloading of people, equipment and cargo at offshore sites, even in rough sea conditions. The Volvo Penta IPS holds the boat safe and steady against the bollard, thanks to EVC controlled pod action.
